Answer:

A. much of the variation in individuals of a population is heritable

Explanation:

Charles Darwin is a scientist well known for his development of the concept of evolution. Darwin was able to deduce that the species of a population have a common ancestor and that as time passes there is a modification in the characteristics of these species that makes it easier for them to adapt to their environments. These traits that were inherited from past descendants, were helpful traits that made it possible for their own descendants to be able to survive better than their peers. He noted that there were limited resources for survival, therefore it was a case of the survival of the fittest.

Natural selection was the term used by him to describe how species of a population survived over time. Members of a population had varied traits that enabled them to survive. For example, the descendants of an ancestor could have slightly different shapes, colors, sizes, and other features but still maintain traceable heritable traits.

Fill in the missing words. naturalselection foundereffect geographicallyisolated species evolution
grandymaker [24]

Hi!


The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.


In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process  which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.


Hope this helps!
